This statement ring is a piece from Simon William's Mineralist series that takes a multicoloured deepdive into the world of resin crystals and rocks.
Made entirely of transluscent slate-grey resin, this ring is oversized, taking a form inspired by the mineral Silicone Carbide. The ring is heavily textured, taking the shape of a organic, rough signet. The back of the ring has a smooth finish, contrasting with the heavy crystal like texture at the face of the ring.
Size: Y
Materials: Resin
Dimensions: 17mm wide at back of ring to 20mm at face. 6mm thick at back to 14mm thick at top.
